Can you design layouts without having master password?

thanks!

I think I found a way. In the password setup, what is the difference between editing mode and none? Both these modes all all options to be greyed out at the top menu.

HELP!!!!! I have a password system for record level security using Groups and Passwords and StatusGroups in my script. I want the user to only view his/her records. I have made that happen using the layouts. Now the problem is they can easily go to the top and under the menu, Records, they can scroll to "show all records" or ctrl-J. Can I lock or hide this option? or the whole FM5 menu bar altogether? HELP!! Thanks in advance.

oops, my bad, I had the first field as a calculation with result as number. I changed it to text. Its ok now.

Hi, I would like to copy a field to another field. Field1 is a text type, and I want to copy "01-124" by using setfield[field2,field1]. My result in field2 is "1124". How do I prevent this. I want the exact format. Thanks.

I have a question. I have a messagebox if user clicks on something wrong. Then I have another button clicking on script to duplicate the record. Problem is when I use status(currentmessagechoice)=1, the status changes depending on if the user clicked on wrong button or not. Does the the status(currentmessagechoice) keeps incrementing? It works when I don't click on the wrong button. Help!

Thanks, I did just that.

Hi, I have a button pointing to a related record in another d/b in a script. d/b 1, script1: go to related record; goto external script in d/b 2. d/b 2, script1: go to Layout Main The problem is that if there are no matching related records, it still goes to the layout in main to the record it was last at which is wrong. It should have a message saying "No matching records" Is there a way to prevent this? For example, is there a way to say "If (no related records) then..."? Thanks!

I'm wondering why the clear function only clears the fields displayed in the current layout. I want to clear all fields but only the fields displayed in layout 1 is cleared and not in layout 2, although in my script, I wrote clear [field1]....clear [fieldn] for all my fields. Any thoughts? Is this normal? Should I use cut, or select field, ""?

I would like user to duplicate the entire record including the line items in the portal window. I can use the duplicate command, but it doesn't copy the related line items. any thoughts?

Help, I would like user to create/delete records. How do I prevent them deleting the first one? Is there something with Status(currentrecord)

Question: How do I duplicate the entire record including the related records in the portal? When it duplicates the form's ID increments and the related records are based on this ID. When I try to duplicate record, the related records in my portal is not copied over. Help.

I have 2 problems: I would like to have a preview of how my form looks like before it gets saved as an actual record. (In case I change my mind) What is the best way for this? If I just create new record and then just delete the record, I used an unecessary docket #. Then the next one increments after the deleted on. Example: ID 1, ID 2, delete ID 2, ID 3 =>result ID1, ID3. where is ID2? Thanks in advance!

Thanks, I used a portal without one line of code!
